Provide Stroke Cap Corner & Alignment control in Character Styles
I'm working in Illustrator CC 22.1 and I can't control the Caps, Corners or Alignment options of Strokes in the Character Styles Palette and I really need to. Is there a way to do this that I haven't figured out or has this issue been addressed in the most recent version? Thanks, Emily

Feature to remove white background seamlessly
I think this should be a basic option, to remove white bg seamlessly. or any colored background. There are lot of basic apps that does that, why a sophisticated software like this doesnt have that option?

Thumbnail preview required when selecting an object from multiple objects overlapping each other in illustrator
I am having a trouble when selecting an object from multiple objects. I think, there should have some thumbnail and object preview option when we right the objects and try to select any object. I attached the image see the red arrow mentioned text.

Workspace that brings up the same object and color schemes
Workspace that brings up the same object and color schemes so you don’t have to bring them up each time.

More exporting options, without disgusting failures, even mini files in size cannot be saved at more than 300 PPI , irrespective sys config.
Please try to limit error messages first, as it is very disgusting, then with high end systems in hand, illustrator commonly fails at exporting, even the tiny sized files not being exported with high resolutions i.e., more than 300 PPI specified as "other"

Missing languages from character panel for automation
I need to automate the language parameter from the Character panel on Illustrator. It is already available for most languages but it looks like the recent languages that have been added in Illustrator are not available for automation. We need to set this up to have the correct hyphenation in the text frames. For example, if we activate the hyphenation for illustrator files that contains Thai strings, it won’t hyphenate the strings correctly until we set the language.
The list available for automation can be found from the Illustrator scripting library on macOS (it contains everything we can use for automation with Illustrator).
You can find it if you follow these steps:
1/ Open Script Editor (installed by default on your Mac)
2/ CMD+SHIFT+L to open the Library
3/ Click on the + button and add Adobe Illustrator 2019 app (/Applications/Adobe\ Illustrator\ CC\ 2019/Adobe\ Illustrator.app/)
4/ Double click Adobe Illustrator 2019 to open the library
5/ Search for the language parameter in the library
6/ It will show the list available for automation (that is different from the list in the UI on Illustrator)For example Thai, or Hebrew are missing for automation.

Allow Eyedropper tool to copy/apply different things
Guys, the Eyedropper is an incredibly important tool, whether or not it's "****" by virtue of its age. You haven't updated it in, what, decades? Among the things that it is incapable of copying are:
- multiple strokes
- stroke profiles
- transparency
- blend modes
- graphic styles
Those are extremely common usages/needs. And that's off the top of my head, I'm sure there are many more. Obviously there's no reason this tool shouldn't be able to copy these things! Almost every aesthetic effect that gets added to AI should be reflected in that tool's pickup abilities. Please make this happen already.
1 voteThe Eyedropper tool can work in two modes: basic and extended: basic picks/applies only colors and text. extended allows you operate chosen appearance attributes.
If you open the tool’s options (by doube-clicking the tool button or hitting Enter while it’s picked), you’ll see that you can check/uncheck two top ‘Appearance’ options and customize attributes to be processed.
This is not intuitive, but very powerful once you get the concept.

Pulling content (text, etc) from a database into a layered template
Ideally, it would be advantageous to manage a database of content (like SQL) that could then be linked to content in Illustrator files. In that way, changes to the database such as address could then automatically change in the associated Illustrator files. I don't know if this is something already developed and if so, I'd love to hear more about it. I've heard about the Datamerge function, but I don't quite know all of its capabilities. I'd appreciate any comments on whether that is a viable solution. Thank you.

Wait for the #Color Code to finish
I sometimes look up # Color Codes and want to type them in Illustrator. Every time I start typing and click again in another window, Illustrator just fills in the #Code with some '0' and I need to retype the code again. Why dont just let Illsutrator wait for the User to type the code completely? If the user has not typed in 6 letters, the "ok" button would be inactive until the user has finished the code.
This is very annoying because filling in the 'missing' letters may be good for the software, but is not really user friendly.1 vote -
Combining Ai files into one as we can do with PDF
Some time we need to combine separate files into one for sending to customer or for printing. Idea is to combine separate .ai files into one as we can do with PDF.

When saving or exporting choose the file type / extension automatically based on the one typed with the file name
Since 90% of the time, you need to rename or edit a title. It would be a time saver if you could name as well select the correct format directly from the "save as" selection name field. ex: You type image1.png, Then the "format" would automatically change itself to the correct "PNG" format (so you don't need to do that as well). Of course, this would be on all.

You can improve by making it possible to move many files at once form CCLibrary to CCFiles folder. (Now 1 by 1).
Please make it possible to move all files at once from the Creative Cloud Libraries to the Creative Cloud Files folder. I have made lots of great patterns today with Adobe Capture, when you save them you'll find them in your Library but then I wanted to copy them so I also can work with the files offline (from the CCF folder I can export them to my external HDD) with PS and/or Ai. Now I have found out you must copy them one by one...Only made 45 patterns today...and over time I might create thousands....but not if I have to copy them one by one... Please improve, thank you very much!

Adobe Illustrator User Interface Auto Rotation
Wacom Computers, MS Surface, and I'm super several others can use windows auto rotation feature. Photoshop works fine with it, but Adobe Illustrator (even in touch workspace) just doesn't want to rotate the UI to portrait mode for some reason.
It wouldn't be that horrible, or there was at least a manual button to rotate the user interface... But even that doesn't exist.
Please, please, please add UI auto rotation to Adobe Illustrator.1 vote -
transform again tool glitch
In Adobe Illustrator, I use the transform again tool a lot during my day to day and seemingly recently, it hasn’t been affecting live or outlined type* when it will affect any other regular object. Has anyone come across this on their own or know how to fix it? It will continue to transform the text if you scale up or down as well repeating moves but when scaling objects to certain sizes using the guides and then replicating the same growth on the text object doesn’t work.
I’ve tried ungrouping, releasing the compound path, tried intersecting the shapes, the menu command

Make it easier to use the color in paint bucket. it defaults to greyscale and hard to find way out of that. it should just be intuitive.
JUST MAKE IT EASY TO USE
I just want to get things done quick. why will an image we import to vectorize automatically be greyscale? AND WHY DO YOU MAKE IT HARD TO FIND HOW TO GET COLOR IN THERE??????
old forum articles are obsolete, so why not just make it easier to use in the first place

Drag and snap by specific point
Sometimes I want to drag a specific point of a path and move it to another specific part of another path but Illustrator makes it difficult to do it precisely. I wish it was easier to do that without having to create more anchor points.
